Question about using imap with gnus

Question about using imap with gnus

[Henry S. Greenside]

I am trying to get imap working with gnus v5.9.0 on a
Fedora Core 2 system and have run into a simple
problem: how do I tell gnus to read the email from the
imap server?

I have the following in my .gnus file:

   (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods 
   '(
      (nnimap "physics"
        (nnimap-address "mail.phy.duke.edu")
        (nnimap-port 993)
        (nnimap-list-pattern "~/Mail/*")
      )))

but can't figure out from the GNUS documentation what
group to join to get the mail.

    Thanks,

    Henry

I use this:

(setq mail-sources '((imap :server "myserver.net" :port 143 :user "myusername" :password "mypassword")))

which works fine with MS Exchange Server.

(info "(gnus)Mail Source Customization")

| User-Agent: Gnus/5.090015 (Oort Gnus v0.15) Emacs/21.3

You should upgrade to the latest stable version: Gnus 5.10.6.

Bye, Reiner.

`gnus-pers.el' is not part of Gnus.  Ask the author to update it.
Most probably you can replace `message-functionp' by `functionp'.

What about following the manual link I posted?
